Fat lip hands on your hips ready to quitThe world kicks you while your downA sucker punch was too much not getting upYou just lay there on the ground

[Chorus:]Cowboys never do it that wayWhen they fall they get back up in the saddleThey always own up to their mistakesThey never back down they fight their own battlesYou could just forget it ride off alone and headedInto the sunset at the end of the dayBut cowboys never do it that way yay yay yay

You tell yourself try something else the hand that you’re dealtYou fold face down on the tableJust pretend that you win begin again babyIf you think you’re able

(Repeat chorus)

You could just forget it ride off alone and headedInto the sunset at the end of the dayBut cowboys never do it that wayWhen they fall they get back in the saddleThey always own up to their mistakesThey never back down they fight their own battlesCowboys never do it that wayNo second guessing yeah they trust their own sensesCowboys never do it that way
